<span class='body'><p>NUREMBERG, GERMANY, Embedded World&#10368;Lynx Software Technologies, Inc., a world leader in real-time security technologies, today announced that both its LynxOS 7.0 RTOS and its LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor are moving to new ARM&#174;-based processors. The development allows the military-grade security offered by these products to be applied to the protection of ARM-based embedded designs addressing IoT markets such as industrial control, factory automation, connected automotive, smart energy, medical and transportation.</p><p>
Gurjot Singh, CEO of Lynx Software Technologies, said, &#8220;The next generation of connected embedded systems being designed using ARM-based processors will need to have enhanced security, especially when controlling critical infrastructure.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;We believe the industry-leading security technology in both our LynxOS 7.0 and LynxSecure products will offer a major leap for ARM-based developers, allowing them to design the most secure connected systems without sacrificing power, performance and functionality.&#8221;</p><p>
LynxOS 7.0 is being migrated initially to the ARM Cortex&#174;-A series of processor cores, including processors from Xilinx, TI and Freescale. LynxSecure is being migrated to Cortex-A family members that offer hardware virtualization support. </p><p>
&#8220;Data security is always important, but in industrial, transport and health systems it is absolutely vital as the equipment may be implementing life-sustaining functionality,&#8221; said Nandan Nayampally, vice president of marketing, CPU group, ARM. &#8220;Intellectual property from ARM underpins some of the most widely-applied security technologies from the tiniest sensors to cloud and server markets. Moving LynxOS 7.0 to the ARM Cortex-A processor family will help our partners deliver on the promise of a secure, reliable and connected world.&#8221;</p><p>
&#8220;Many high-performance IoT devices require the time-critical determinism of a real-time operating system, most notably in safety-critical applications such as avionics, automotive systems and </p><p>
factory automation. A reliable RTOS with open APIs can enable secure systems and handle communications protocols needed in IoT,&#8221; added Steve Hoffenberg, VDC Research's Director of Industry Analysis for IoT and Embedded Technology.</p><p>
LynxOS 7.0 is a unique RTOS product as it provides the ability for developers to embed military-grade security directly into their devices by utilizing features such as access control lists, audit, quotas, local trusted path, account management, and OpenPAM. These capabilities mean that security can be designed into a connected embedded device rather than being added as an afterthought, and hence IoT edge and gateway devices can be deemed &#8216;secure by design&#8217;. </p><p>
The LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor brings some very unique security qualities to developers of embedded and enterprise systems. The separation kernel provides strict isolation on a single hardware platform, efficiently separates memory, CPU and devices without the need of a &#8220;helper&#8221; operating system that is commonly found in hypervisors. The virtualization technology in LynxSecure sits above the separation kernel, and by using hardware virtualization features found in many of the newest ARM cores, can provide performance very close to the native speeds for guest operating systems running in the isolated domains. LynxSecure can be used to securely separate different networks, for example IT and OT networks commonly found in IoT gateways, and it can securely partition persistent storage to isolate critical information from malicious threats. </p><p>
Lynx Software Technologies is working with Xilinx to make LynxSecure available for their recently announced Zynq UltraScale Plus, with the combination of technologies bringing an ultra-secure platform for tomorrow&#8217;s advanced connected systems.</p><p>
&#8220;Lynx has been a long term Xilinx Alliance Member from porting uCLinux on the MicroBlaze core to supporting the Zynq&#174; UltraScale Plus MPSoC platform with LynxSecure,&#8221; said Mark Jensen, director of ecosystems and alliances at Xilinx. &#8220;The combination of LynxSecure and the Zynq UltraScale Plus MPSoC will offer the flexibility of a hypervisor, the performance of a real-time kernel, and the locked-down security of a military-grade separation kernel on a hardware platform that has been designed to future-proof the next generation of connected embedded systems.&#8221;</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About LynxSecure Separation Kernel Hypervisor</h3></p><p>
The separation kernel and &#8220;Type-0&#8221; hypervisor is an award winning bare-metal architecture, designed from the ground up, that differentiates from type 1 hypervisors by removing the un-needed functionality from the &#8220;security sensitive&#8221; hypervisor mode, yet virtualizes guest OSes in a tiny stand-alone package. By combining the best-of-breed capabilities of the real-time separation kernel technology and virtualization, LynxSecure provides unmatched capabilities to run one or more guest OS (real-time or GPOS) on embedded, desktop or server platforms. LynxSecure provides one of the most flexible secure real-time virtualization solutions for use in embedded and IT computer systems. Designed to maintain the highest levels of military security, LynxSecure offers an industry-leading combination of security with functionality, allowing developers and integrators to use the latest software and hardware technologies to build complex OS-based systems.</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About LynxOS 7.0</h3></p><p>

<span class='body'><p>Heerbrugg, Switzerland -- There are many stages to creating and making a new product from the initial concept through to selling to the customer, but the stage that is often overlooked is test. A product designer will typically think that testing is a matter for the manufacturer and never consider incorporating features specifically to facilitate testing. Yet, Design for Test can save both time and money for the overall project, in particular for the increasingly complex final step of testing all the functionalities of the product.</p><p>
The basic checks, such as are the right components are used in the right places, are solder joints are sound, etc., are easy and routine to do with a range of standard equipment such as Automatic X-ray Inspection (AXI) and Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) without needing anything special for testing to be designed into the PCB.</p><p>
The next step is Standard Functional Testing. This requires a range of equipment that checks that the components are functioning correctly and fortunately this is fairly straightforward as there are off the shelf test products available such as those from Keysight. It is easy to match the required function test with a standard piece of test equipment. </p><p>
However, the last stage is the most complex. As products have increased levels of features, it is important that these are properly tested. This requires the design of a Dedicated Standalone Functional Tester, which ESCATEC is now providing as a design service. Creating this can be even more complex than designing the product, as it is a one-off design that has to be perfect. Each solution is unique to the product and precisely matched like a key to a lock, requiring skill and experience in thinking outside the box to try and design for the unexpected. </p><p>
The design of the Tester should ideally be started at the same time as the design of the product so that they can evolve in tandem with changes in one being reflected in the other. Failure to do this means that the cost of creating a Dedicated Standalone Functional Tester becomes much greater than it could have been. And worse, it may be impossible at this late stage to test some parts of the circuit as there is no way to access them.</p><p>
Having built the Tester, it needs to be tested to make sure that it is working correctly and is able to check all the functions of the device. To do this, a "golden unit" is used, which is a product sample that is known to work correctly from the R&D and previous testing stages plus manually performed functional testing. This is used to develop the test programme for the tester that will automatically test the products. The tester is then used on a hundred products to ensure that it gives consistent results with any abnormalities checked to see if it is the product or the Tester that is the cause. This enables Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility used to determine the amount of variability in the Tester. This is an important part of being able to provide high quality control. The Tester data forms part of on-going data analysis of faults that enables First Time Yields to be continuously improved to reduce production costs by eliminating faults as soon as they are spotted.</p><p>
The aim of the Tester is to simulate real life usage of the product, which requires an in-depth understanding of functions and range of operations of the product. Unfortunately, in real life, this is often done by completely different teams working for different companies, i.e. a design house and a contract manufacturer. ESCATEC has a holistic approach as all stages from contract design services to manufacturing are done in-house so that knowledge is shared and each stage is done by people who understand the needs of all the other stages. This integrated Design for Excellence approach has resulted in ESCATEC becoming one of the leading contract design and manufacturing companies in Europe. </p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Escatec</h3></p><p>

In addition to this, several of the companies exhibiting at this year's Conference will be available to discuss topics such as the DO-178, IEC61508 and ISO 26262 standards. </p><p>
The UK Device Developers' Conference is a one-day conference for engineers and computer scientists involved in the development of intelligent systems and devices. It is an event that explores the very latest tools and technologies available and includes a vendor exhibition, half-day technical workshops and a series of informative technical presentations. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.device-developer-conference.co.uk">www.device-developer-conference.co.uk</a></p><p>
"For an engineer that is having to embark on a project that needs to be highly reliable, then this Conference should prove very informative,&#8221; said Richard Blackburn, Conference Organiser. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s the choice of operating system, hardware, debug tools or certification tools, there will be a number of industry experts sharing their knowledge and experience.&#8221;</p><p>
German debug tool company Lauterbach and UK based code test experts LDRA will be presenting a half-day workshop entitled &#8220;Catch Software Errors Before It&#8217;s Too Late for Certification&#8221;. This workshop will show how to simplify code analysis, test and certification for resource constrained applications. It will also explain how to quickly assess the impact of identified failures and unexpected results. The workshop will also explore automated testing processes and methodologies to achieve certifiable, high-quality software. </p><p>
An industry expert from Esterel Technologies will give a presentation entitled "The Impact of a Certified Toolset in a High Integrity Software Development Environment". This presentation will discuss that working to any of the key software standards such as DO-178C, EN50128, ISO26262 or IEC61508 drives onerous changes into the V cycle design process. This talk will demonstrate that using a qualified or certified toolset can dramatically streamline and automate many of the steps, as well as build quality and best practice into the design.</p><p>
Other exhibitors and presenters working in this field include Phaedrus Systems, SafeTTy Systems, SDC Systems and Lynx Software. </p><p>

<span class='body'><p>Tokyo, Japan - eSOL, a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions, announced today that it developed Software-Hardware Interface for Multi-many-core (SHIM) specification compliant authoring tools jointly with Nagoya University that describe the hardware architecture and performance of multi-core/many-core processors, and started to provide them as open source software. The tools reduce the time and cost it takes for existing software development tools and runtime software to support various types of multi-core/many-core processors. They also facilitate and accelerate the development of new innovative tools, and promote multi-core/many-core technologies.</p><p>
The SHIM is a description standard to abstract the hardware properties of various multi-core/many-core processors, and has become publicly available by the Multicore Association(TM) on February 17, 2015. The standardization of SHIM is an international spin-off effort of the Japanese multi-core/many-core platform project, funded by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in November 2012. SHIM contains the information on hardware architecture and performance which is necessary for software design and development. The information includes processor cores, accelerators, memory/caches and the inter-core communication channels, and is described in XML files. SHIM XML files are used to adapt parallelizing tools such as performance analysis tools and auto-parallelizing compiler, and configurator for runtime software - including operating systems and middleware components - to much more processors within a shorter period of time. eSOL chairs the SHIM working group in the Multicore Association(R) (MCA) that developed the SHIM specification.</p><p>
eSOL has developed and opened the SHIM Editor and the SHIM Performance Measurement Plugin tools as open source software. While the SHIM Editor creates the SHIM XML files, the SHIM Performance Measurement Plugin tool measures the performance of hardware using values in the SHIM XML files, and merges the measurement result back to the XML. They are distributed under the MIT license at GitHub (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://https://github.com/openshim/shim">https://github.com/openshim/shim</a>). In addition to facilitating the creation of SHIM XML files, these tools can be utilized to evaluate SHIM itself, and to refer as SHIM compliant tools.</p><p>
With its expertise in developing highly reliable RTOS, eSOL has been actively carrying out research and development regarding multi-core/many-core software. eSOL develops RTOS and development tools for different multi-core/many-core processors, including the world's first commercial many-core RTOS, eSOL eMCOS, the eSOL eMCOS IDE Plug-in tools and the eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition RTOS. These products are expected to support the SHIM. In addition to research and development of its own products, eSOL actively works with both academic institutions plus international industry groups such as the Multicore Association and the Embedded Multicore Consortium that Nagoya University serves as President and eSOL takes the position of Vice-President. </p><p>
"With its wealth of knowledge and excellent skills in the multi-core/many-core arena, eSOL exercised strong leadership to develop an open SHIM implementation and as a chair of the SHIM working group in the Multicore Association," said Mr. Markus Levy, President, Multicore Association. "In collaboration with Embedded Multicore Consortium in which eSOL participates, we expect that eSOL will continue to contribute to the further development and dissemination of multi-core/many-core technologies."</p><p>
"We expect that SHIM Editor and SHIM Performance Measurement Plugin, jointly developed with eSOL, will accelerate the introduction of SHIM which fosters the dissemination of many-core technology," said Mr. Masato Edahiro, Professor, Department of Information Engineering, Graduate School of Information Science, Nagoya University/ President of the Embedded Multicore Consortium. "In addition to the SHIM XML authoring tools, Embedded Multicore Consortium, together with the Multicore Association, will develop design support tools for multi-core processors using SHIM and make it open to the members. It can contribute to further promotion and dissemination of multi-core/many-core technologies within Japan."</p><p>
"Taking advantage of a leading role in SHIM working group of Multicore Association and Embedded Multicore Consortium, eSOL has made a contribution to the standardization of Japan-led SHIM and the launch of tools which promote SHIM," said Masaki Gondo, Software CTO and GM of Technology at eSOL. "We continue to be committed to expand the use of SHIM and introduction of multi-core/many-core technologies such by making our products including eMCOS support SHIM."</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About eSOL</h3></p><p>

<span class='body'><p>Tokyo, Japan - Kalray, the inventor of supercomputing on a chip(TM) for embedded high-performance computing applications, and eSOL, a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions, announced today that they have agreed to establish a strategic partnership to jointly develop products that aim to improve the efficiency of system development and accelerate time-to-market. Their first solution, the eSOL eMCOS real-time operating system (RTOS) running on the MPPA1-256, the first generation of Kalray manycore processor (codename Andey), will be demonstrated at eSOL's booth, No.4-157 in Hall 4, at the embedded world Exhibition & Conference 2015, February 24-26 in Nurnberg, Germany.</p><p>
The combination of eSOL eMCOS RTOS and Kalray's innovative MPPA(R) programmable manycore processor achieves extremely high computing performance and energy efficiency with low latency and predictable response times. It is a perfect fit for applications requiring image/voice processing, encryption/signal processing, and real-time processing such as in high-end automotive ADAS. Further applications enabled by this combination include video surveillance equipment, medical devices, augmented-reality (AR) devices, satellite systems, factory automation/industry equipment, and other high-performance embedded systems.</p><p>
The MPPA(R)-256 is the leading-edge 256-core processor, featuring 16 compute clusters of 16 processing cores, 4 I/O subsystems with high-speed interfaces including Ethernet 10Gb, DDR3, PCIe Gen3, and the Kalray NoC eXtension (NoCX) protocol for direct connection to FPGA or other MPPA(R) processors. The MPPA(R) core implements an innovative 32-bit Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture that combines the efficiency of a DSP with the ease of programming of a CPU.</p><p>
eMCOS employs distributed microkernel architecture that is totally different from any existing RTOS architecture. The highly scalable OS supports a single-core up to 1024-core processors, with or without a cache-coherency mechanism. Moreover, the patent-pending eMCOS Semi-priority-based Scheduling(TM) algorithm ensures the high performance and scalability that is expected from manycore processors, and the fast real-time response that is essential for embedded systems. There is no need for application developers to consider CPU cores, since the eMCOS employs the same programming model as that of other multi-core RTOSes, including eSOL's eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition. eMCOS OS APIs are provided with the familiar C function interface, and message-passing behavior is conducted within APIs. Therefore, developers can develop software the same way they usually do.</p><p>
For application development, Kalray's C/C++/Fortran GCC-based tool chain, MPPA(R) Accesscore and the eSOL eMCOS IDE Plug-in tools that work as plug-ins for the Kalray tool chain are available. The eSOL eMCOS IDE plug-in consists of eMCOS-specific system analysis tools and utility software. In the second quarter of 2015, eSOL will launch the eSOL eMCOS SDK, the evaluation kit for MPPA(R) processor, which includes eMCOS, the IDE Plug-in, and middleware components such as network protocol stacks, file systems, and USB stacks. The evaluation kit permits quick evaluation of MPPA(R) and eMCOS. Since eMCOS supports T-Kernel and POSIX APIs, developers can evaluate their Linux, &#956;ITRON, and T-Kernel software assets on a manycore processor. Furthermore, eSOL will provide professional services - consisting of engineering services, such as driver and application porting, and consulting services.</p><p>
eSOL chairs the Software-Hardware Interface for the Multi-Many-Core (SHIM) working group in the Multicore Association(R) (MCA), and takes on the position of Vice-President for the Embedded Multicore Consortium, which leads multi-core technology in Japan.</p><p>
"We believe that collaboration with eSOL, a leading company in manycore technology for embedded use, will accelerate the development and promotion of innovative manycore products," said Benoit Dupont de Dinechin, Chief Technology Officer of Kalray. "eSOL's eMCOS, which employs the distributed microkernel architecture, will maximize the performance of our MPPA(R) processor, and enable development of more integrated power-efficient systems. We expect that the combined solution will be used in image processing such as video surveillance equipment and AR devices, plus communication devices and satellite systems."</p><p>
"Kalray has the unique technology to achieve extremely high computing performance and energy efficiency. In contrast to server processors, the MPPA(R) processor can be utilized in real-time systems," said Masaki Gondo, Software Chief Technology Officer and General Manager of Technology Headquarters at eSOL. "The combination of Kalray's processor and our eMCOS allows system development with high computing capability and real-time performance, providing platforms for the next-generation of intelligent embedded systems."</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About Kalray</h3></p><p>

</tr> </table><p>UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ&#9472; Pentek, Inc., today introduced the newest member of its Flexor&#8482; line of FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) carriers: the Model 7070 PCIe FMC carrier with a Virtex-7 FPGA. As a stand-alone signal processing board, it provides an ideal development and deployment platform for demanding DSP applications. Combined with any of Pentek&#8217;s FMCs, it creates a complete radar and software radio solution.</p><p>
The Flexor Model 7070 features a high pin-count VITA 57.1 FMC site, 4 GB of DDR3 SDRAM, PCI Express (Gen. 1, 2 and 3) interface up to x8, optional 12x user-configurable gigabit serial I/O and optional LVDS connections to the FPGA for custom I/O.</p><p>
The Flexor Model 7070 delivers new levels of I/O performance through the built-in gigabit serial interface with optional optical transceivers, making 12 full duplex optical lanes available to an MTP connector. With the installation of a serial protocol in the FPGA, this interface enables a high bandwidth connection between 7070s mounted within the same chassis or over extended distances between chassis.</p><p>
&#8220;The 7070 has many useful capabilities,&#8221; said Rodger Hosking, vice-president of Pentek. "The optical transceivers provide a direct pipeline to the FPGA for very high bandwidth links to remote sensors or systems. The powerful Virtex-7 handles the most challenging DSP tasks, and installing an FMC transforms the 7070 into a complete I/O subsystem.&#8221;</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Seamless Integration</h3></p><p>
The Flexor Model 7070 comes preconfigured with a suite of built-in IP functions for data capture, synchronization, time-tagging and formatting. When integrated with a Pentek FMC, such as the Flexor Model 3312 or 3316, the Model 7070 is delivered with factory-installed IP modules optimized for the analog or digital interfaces of each FMC. These can include A/D acquisition engines and D/A waveform generation engines to simplify data capture and signal generation. Together, they provide an ideal turn-key signal interface for radar, communications or general data acquisition applications, eliminating the integration effort typically left for the user when integrating an FMC and carrier.</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Development Tools and Software Support</h3></p><p>
By plugging the Model 7070 PCIe FMC carrier into a Pentek 8266 SPARK&#8482; PC development system, developers can immediately start application development. The SPARK system saves engineers the time and expense associated with building and testing a development system and ensures optimum performance of Pentek boards. All SPARK development systems come with software and hardware installed and ready for immediate operation. </p><p>
While many applications can be satisfied with the board&#8217;s built-in functions, the Flexor Model 7070 is an ideal development and deployment platform for custom IP. Supported by the Pentek GateFlow&#174; FPGA Design Kit, users have access to the complete factory installed IP at the source level, allowing them to extend or even replace the built in functions. </p><p>
The Pentek GateXpress&#174; PCIe Configuration Manager supports dynamic FPGA reconfiguration though software commands as part of the runtime application. This provides an efficient way to quickly reload the FPGA, which occurs many times during development. For deployed environments, GateXpress enables reloading the FPGA without the need to reset the host system, ideal for applications that require dynamic access to multiple processing IP algorithms.</p><p>
The Pentek ReadyFlow&#174; Board Support Package is available for Windows and Linux operating systems. ReadyFlow is provided as a C-callable library, the complete suite of initialization, control and status functions, as well as a rich set of precompiled, ready-to-run-examples, accelerate application development. </p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Form Factors, Pricing and Availability</h3></p><p>

<span class='body'><p>Embedded World, N&#252;rnberg, Germany &#8224;Argosim, the first software company to provide tools that validate real-time systems requirements, introduces STIMULUS, a modeling and simulation environment to edit, debug, and test requirements. With STIMULUS, system architects can now verify requirements before the design phase even begins, reducing specification errors, process iterations, and compliance costs for industries battling the rising costs of certification. </p><p>
In a typical software project, 40 to 60 percent of design bugs are caused by faulty requirements that lead to additional testing and re-debugging. STIMULUS bridges design and requirement engineering tools by using simulation to test and check textual specifications, enabling engineers to detect incorrect or conflicting requirements. The tool features a high-level modeling language that formalizes natural language requirements and a simulation engine that generates and analyzes executable traces to test requirements. </p><p>
STIMULUS enables system integrators of real-time safety-critical systems, including aerospace, rail, automotive, energy, and industrial safety, to deliver correct, unambiguous requirements that comply with IEEE 830. System architects can generate and observe many execution traces that verify requirements, define generic test scenarios and debug requirements against realistic inputs, and generate numerous test vectors for software-in-the-loop validation. Then, by supplying these verified requirements to their subcontractors, the system integrators significantly reduce the amount of rework, schedule bloat, and cost of a typical safety-critical system. </p><p>
&#8220;Companies face unprecedented pressures. Increased system complexity and litigation calls for more rigorous industry compliance, but companies need to achieve this with shorter time to market and reduced cost,&#8221; said Fabien Gaucher, CEO of Argosim. &#8220;Achieving these goals is possible only if companies strip out the amount of rework currently done when requirements are found to be faulty only after coding and testing. STIMULUS gives development teams a chance to disrupt that error-prone development cycle and to make requirements right the first time.&#8221;</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">EDF Identifies STIMULUS Advantage</h3></p><p>
&#8220;As the world&#8217;s largest producer of electricity, EDF is highly dependent on nuclear power, generating more than 60 GWe annually from nearly 60 nuclear reactors,&#8221; said Thuy Nguyen, senior R&D engineer, &#201;lectricit&#233; de France. &#8220;Our systems must therefore comply with rigorous safety-critical standards. STIMULUS makes it possible to validate our functional system requirements early and independently from all design choices made by third-party subcontractors.&#8221;</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Argosim Presents Drone Requirements Demo and Paper at Embedded World 2015</h3></p><p>

<span class='body'><p><span class="abstract">LDRA TBmanager&#174; provides bidirectional software process and artifact traceability, helping companies demonstrate standards compliance and certification readiness</span></p><p>
N&#252;rnberg, Germany. February 23, 2015&#8212;LDRA, the leader in standards compliance, automated software verification, source code analysis and test tools, has secured a patent for TBmanager, its premiere software life cycle traceability and verification system. TBmanager enables developers to bidirectionally link industry-standard objectives, functional requirements, design, code, and test artifacts to the people responsible for those activities. By helping define, enforce, and demonstrate a comprehensive verification workflow, TBmanager provides companies with the audit trail needed to achieve regulatory compliance of safety-critical standards. </p><p>
TBmanager enables development and verification organizations in industries such as aerospace, automotive, industrial controls, rail and medical to expedite development, improve product quality, and decrease potential qualification and certification costs. By seamlessly and bidirectionally linking system artifacts across the software life cycle, TBmanager gives developers immediate visibility of and access to project status in terms of both process and the artifacts being produced and maintained. As a result, project managers can immediately analyze the impact of a requirements change on design, code, and verification activities.</p><p>
&#8220;By giving customers the opportunity to gain such transparency into the software life cycle, LDRA has transported the compliance verification field to a new level of measurability and analytics,&#8221; stated Ian Hennell, LDRA Operations Director. &#8220;Software complexity has increased sharply, making manual requirements traceability time-consuming and error prone. LDRA TBmanager eliminates these costs and ensures high-quality software process by providing immediate insight into the interrelationships among the software verification artifacts and objectives.&#8221;</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">TBmanager Used to Create Audit Trail By Mectron</h3></p><p>
Mectron, a company owned by Odebrecht Defense and Technology, has adopted TBmanager to help achieve DO-178 goals for software verification. Specifically, Mectron used TBmanager to create the audit trail needed to achieve regulatory compliance with rigorous safety-critical standards&#8212;a necessary step for the development and production of missiles, radar, avionics systems and communication, and command and control systems for both military and civilian use. </p><p>
&#8220;To achieve certification, we needed to show how our requirements were linked across the entire system from the IBM&#174; Rational&#174; DOORS&#174; requirements engineering database to our code and software tests,&#8221; stated David Fernandez, Avionics Systems Engineer, Mectron. &#8220;TBmanager enabled us to manage these verification tasks efficiently. We were able to make the final delivery to the customer on time and within budget.&#8221;</p><p>
For compliance management and verification activities across the software life cycle, TBmanager imports and leverages requirements from both requirements management and authoring tools, such as IBM Rational DOORS, IBM&#174; Rational&#174; RequisitePro&#174;, and Microsoft Office products. With links connecting the requirements to all other system and software artifacts, developers gain visibility into the software life cycle both up- and downstream. TBmanager captures and aggregates results from the LDRA tool suite&#8217;s in-depth static and dynamic analysis tools to provide detailed code quality analysis and structural code coverage analysis as well as unit and integration testing processes and the resulting artifacts. </p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Hands-On Demonstration</h3></p><p>
The full capabilities of TBmanager will be demonstrated at Embedded World in N&#252;rnberg, Germany, February 24&#8211;26 in Hall 4-432. Visit the stand to see how a software project can achieve certifiable readiness from requirements creation through development and validation for the certification standard you need. </p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About LDRA</h3></p><p>

</tr> </table><p>Austin, TX &#8211; 4DSP announced a new high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) card today called the PC870 which provides one 10-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) channel at 5Gsps and one 10-bit digital-to-analog (D/A) channel at 5Gsps. Adapted from the Kintex UltraScale-based PC820 FPGA carrier card, the PC870 features advanced DSP capabilities, serial connectivity options, 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, and a PCIe Gen3 interface that can support up to eight lanes.</p><p>
The low-latency data path of the PC870 enables 2.2GHz of instantaneous analog bandwidth in both the receive and transmit directions. The analog signal input and output are available on the front panel on AC-coupled coax connections. The card also features a single-lane SFP+ module as a serial peripheral interface, and a dual-lane 14.2 Gbps FireFly connector is available as an optional interface.</p><p>
"The combination of the Xilinx UltraScale FPGA with high-bandwidth A/D and D/A capabilities makes the PC870 a very effective choice for bringing maximum DSP performance to the PCI Express form factor," said Pierrick Vulliez, CTO of 4DSP. "Furthermore, the SFP+ and FireFly options offer serial connectivity choices for designers of innovative FPGA-based systems." The PC870 is an excellent choice for applications that require large-band signal digitization or generation through the use of accelerated frequency domain algorithms such as RADAR/SONAR, wireless telecommunications, and aerospace test and measurement instruments.</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Features:</h3></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Kintex UltraScale XCKU035, XCKU040, XCKU060, XCKU075</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Single-channel, 10-bit A/D up to 5Gsps</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Single-channel, 10-bit D/A up to 5Gsps</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; PCIe Gen3 x8</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; 4GB 1600MT/s DDR3 SDRAM</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; 256Mb Serial Flash</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Single-lane SFP+ interface</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Bidirectional x2 FireFly connection (optional)</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; AC-coupled analog signals</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; LVDS IO signaling between A/D, D/A and FPGA for low latency</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; 6 SSMC or MMCX front panel connectors</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Clock source, sampling frequency, and calibration through I2C communication</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Flexible clock tree enables: Internal clock source & external sampling or reference clock</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Power-down modes to switch off unused functions for system power savings</span></blockquote></p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Applications</h3></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Software Defined Radio (SDR)</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; RADAR/SONAR</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Ultra-wideband satellite digital receiver and transmitter</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Wireless communication transceivers and base stations</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Direct RF down-conversion</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Direction finding</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; A/D and D/A signal processing</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Multi-channel digital receivers</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Event processor & recorder</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Medical equipment</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; Aerospace and test measurement instruments</span></blockquote></p><p><h3 class="heading-1">Board Support Package</h3></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; 4FM GUI offers multiple functions including the ability to monitor voltage and temperature; perform memory tests; measure the PCIe bandwidth; update FPGA firmware; and access StellarIP</span></blockquote></p><p><blockquote><span class="osp-news-bullet-text">&#8226; StellarIP available for this product.

CAMBRIDGE, UK &#8211; Blighter Surveillance Systems (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.blighter.com">www.blighter.com</a>), a British electronic-scanning (e-scan) radar and sensor solution provider, has been selected to supply its Blighter B400 Series e-scan radars to secure the perimeter of a strategic air base in the Middle East. The contract was awarded to Blighter by Unlimited Technology, Inc., a security market systems integrator based in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. The contract value was not disclosed.</p><p>
The Blighter passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radars will form part of an integrated perimeter security system at the Middle Eastern air base and this will include a long range illuminated camera system for day and night operation. Blighter will also supply its BlighterTrack multi hypothesis software-based radar target tracker and its BlighterView HMI 2 control system to display the radars and to cue the camera systems. This configuration is known as Blighter Guardian. A &#8216;Sensor Node&#8217; from Unlimited Technology will integrate the complete sensor suite and control electronics into a comprehensive &#8216;plug and play&#8217; package for ease of installation by the local integrator.</p><p>
Brent Franklin, president, Unlimited Technology, Inc., said: &#8220;We needed a field-proven robust and reliable e-scan radar system for a strategic airbase security solution in the Middle East. It was vital that the solution was maintenance free and offered 24-hour all-weather capability, low false alarm rates and had the range to look beyond the perimeter to provide the early target detection that our customer required. Blighter was able to meet our needs in full and demonstrate similar successful deployments &#8211; for example, by the British Army for forward operating base security and by the Koreans along the demilitarised zone (DMZ).&#8221;</p><p>
Mark Radford, CEO, Blighter Surveillance Systems, said: &#8220;We are delighted to see yet another military air base adopt our Blighter surveillance solution. Our solid state PESA electronic scanning radar technology has no mechanical moving parts to wear out or to get contaminated by sand or dust and therefore it&#8217;s ideal for the dusty and arid conditions found in the Middle East. Importantly, our radar is also visually covert and virtually maintenance free.&#8221;</p><p>
Blighter Guardian is designed for securing airbase perimeters and forward operation bases (FOBs) and provides a 24/7 all-weather persistent surveillance capability in the toughest of conditions. Blighter Guardian detects small and slow moving targets &#8211; even in cluttered environments - due to the radar&#8217;s coactive frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) Doppler fast-scan processing. The radar can detect a walking person at 11km (6.8 miles) or a large moving vehicle at 25km (15.5 miles) and then cue the camera system to follow and identify targets.</p><p>
A typical Blighter airbase or FOB configuration consists of the Blighter B400 Series PESA radar, BlighterTrack software, and slew-to-cue PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) thermal imaging surveillance system. The BlighterView HMI 2 control software displays and records all the elements including additional sensors such as a perimeter intruder detection system (PIDS).</p><p>
Blighter&#8217;s ITAR-free systems are used worldwide in commercial, government and defence markets in area and asset protection for national border security, homeland security, critical infrastructure protection such as airports, coastal surveillance, and in military applications. </p><p>

Example OneBank Single Board Computer </td>
</tr> </table><p>San Diego, CA &#8211; The PC/104 Consortium&#8482; has announced the latest revision of the PCI/104-Express & PCIe/104 Specification, Revision 3.0, that provides an additional option called &#8220;OneBank&#8221;. </p><p>
The PCIe/104 OneBank utilizes a smaller, lower-cost bus connector which is compatible to the full size PCIe/104 connector currently in use today. It allows designers to stack boards using a complimentary format that frees up PCB real estate for additional components as well as potential cost savings. </p><p>
The history of the stackable PC/104 architecture is tightly coupled to the concept of building on the foundation of the PC market as defined by the major processor and peripheral chip manufacturers. This began with the ISA bus (PC/104), then the ISA and PCI buses together (PC/104-Plus), then the PCI bus only (PCI/104), and then the PCI and PCI Express buses together (PCI/104-Express). For additional room on a module, the PCIe/104 format removes the PCI bus. This roadmap allows maximum use and leveraging of the vast resources and economies of scale of the PC community in both hardware and software development. It also allows maximum backward compatibility with minimal stacking overhead, if any, and allows future bus advancements as technologies develop and mature. </p><p>
The origin of the OneBank option to the stackable PCIe/104 bus comes from the desire to minimize the resources needed for a given application. The standard PCIe/104 bus allows for maximum bus feature flexibility. It consists of a three bank connector with 152 pins </p><p>
and is available as either a Type 1 or Type 2. Both Type 1 and Type 2 have a common feature set and pin assignments which include: Four x1 PCI Express Links, Two USB 2.0, ATX power and control signals: +5V Standby, Power supply on, Power Good, Power: +3.3V, +5V, +12V, SMBus. Type 1 has the common feature set plus one x16 PCI Express Link that can be configured as two x8 Links or two x4 PCI Express Links dependent on the host. Type 2 has the common feature set plus two x4 PCI Express Links, two USB 3.0, two SATA, LPC Bus, and RTC Battery. With speed capability up to PCIe Gen 3, developers are given plenty of bandwidth for the future.</p><p>
The OneBank connector concept consists of removing two of the three &#8220;banks&#8221; of the standard PCIe/104 connector, resulting in a 52-pin connector as opposed to the full-size 156-pin connector. The OneBank connector is positioned so that it will plug into the bank 1 of the standard PCIe/104 connector. Thus, the signals of the OneBank include the same four x1 PCI Express Links, Two USB 2.0, ATX power and control signals: +5V Standby, Power supply on, Power Good, Power: +3.3V, +5V (reduced current) as found on the first bank of the standard PCIe/104 bus making them plug in compatible. This preserves the stackability and compatibility of PCI/104-Express and PCIe/104 modules along with the new OneBank modules. By removing two of the banks, 0.513 in2 of PCB real estate on each side is freed up. And with speed scales up to PCIe Gen 3 on the PCIe/104 bus, developers are given plenty of bandwidth for the future even with just four x1 PCIe links.</p><p>
As with all of the stackable buses adopted by the PC/104 Consortium, the PCIe/104 OneBank connector can be immediately incorporated across the Consortium&#8217;s 104&#8482;, EPIC&#8482;, and EBX&#8482; form factors. In addition it can be utilized on other form factors not housed by the Consortium to provide convenient, cost effective mezzanine I/O expansion. </p><p>
&#8220;The OneBank connector does a nice job of not only freeing up real estate on PCIe/104-Express peripherals as illustrated in the figure above, but perhaps more importantly, it can also reduce cost significantly for many peripherals for which the additional 2 banks for the x16 PEG have been largely superfluous and a relatively high percentage of the overall board cost. This is encouraging for our end-customers and peripheral vendors but also helps PC/104 remain cost competitive against competitive technologies.&#8221; according to JC Ramirez, ADL Embedded Solutions&#8217; Product Manager.</p><p>

Longevity is one of the hallmarks of the PC/104 Consortium&#8217;s technology. Many customers require the stable, long-term supply that PC/104 module vendors offer. PC/104&#8217;s reliability is valued by thousands of OEMs in application areas such as industrial control and instrumentation, military and aerospace, and medical. The compatibility of OneBank with existing PCIe/104 products helps to preserve customers&#8217; investments in product designs while opening additional opportunities for cost savings, high levels of integration, and system expandability.</p><p><h3 class="heading-1">About the PC/104 Consortium</h3></p><p>
The PC/104 Consortium is the focal point for the entire PC/104 industry including manufactures and OEMs. It provides a place for information on current specifications, product offerings, news, and events and a place to advance and develop specifications that are consistent and stable for long term use. </p><p>
The PC/104 Consortium and standard were established in 1992. PC/104, in use since 1987, is a small form factor, embedded PC physical and electrical interface standard. It provides embedded system designers with an architecture that is dense, cost effective and based on proven, practical technology. PC/104-Plus, an extension that was added to the standard in 1995, incorporates PCI technology. A PCI only version, PCI-104 was incorporated into the specification in 2003. EPIC form factor, a mid-sized format that supports PC/104 and PC/104-Plus was adopted in early 2005. PCI/104-Express and PCIe/104 were adopted in 2008 with Type 2 introduced in 2010. The latest addition, OneBank, was adopted in January 2014.</p><p>

<span class='body'><p>A highly technical half-day workshop on the newly approved IEEE 1687 IJTAG standard for embedded instruments will be held in multiple cities across the U.S., Europe and Asia. The free workshop is being instructed by experts from ASSET&#174; InterTech and Mentor Graphics&#174;, two companies that provided leadership to the IJTAG working group.</p><p>
&#8220;Re-using IP cuts costs and delivers systems to market faster. Now, with IJTAG, embedded instrument IP is portable and re-usable across the entire life cycle from chips to boards and systems,&#8221; said Al Crouch, vice chairman of the IJTAG working group and ASSET&#8217;s chief technologist. &#8220;And the emergence of an IJTAG ecosystem with interoperable IJTAG tools like ours and Mentor&#8217;s has empowered a new dimension in advanced diagnostics. Engineers can pinpoint precisely the root cause of a fault no matter whether it&#8217;s in a chip or on the circuit board. That wasn&#8217;t efficient until now.&#8221; </p><p>
Instructors for the workshops will include Crouch from ASSET and several of Mentor&#8217;s engineering managers who participated in the development of the IJTAG standard. </p><p>
Beginning February 19, workshops will take place in Austin, TX, followed by San Diego, Irvine and Fremont, Calif. European workshops begin March 24 in Tel Aviv, Cambridge, UK; and Munich, Germany. The Asian schedule of workshops begins April 21 in Shenzhen, China; Hsinchu, Taiwan;, Seoul and Tokyo. </p><p>
Private consultation time with Crouch will be available following the free technical workshop in the morning. In one-on-one meetings with Crouch, engineers will be able to learn the most effective strategies for adopting and implementing the IEEE 1687 IJTAG standard in their designs. </p><p>
